Originally posted by chrisbobsonDeke Slayton was diagnosed with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation(PAF). Because of this he could not not serve as an astronaut that flew. His illness forced him into a desk job where he became the "astronaut boss". He later was deemed "cured" and sent into space well after the conclusion of the Apollo Program. Atrial fibrillation is not curable and I along with others have concluded on this basis that the space Missions were faked.
A long medical program[clarification needed] led to Slayton being restored to full flight status in 1972, when he was selected as docking module pilot for the Apollo–Soyuz Test Project, a docking between the American Apollo spacecraft and the Soyuz spacecraft of the Soviet Union. On July 17, 1975... Source en.wikipedia.org...

thinking about the slayton story a little more you realize the thing must be fake all the more, someone so young, why is he not tachycardic when in fib? if he was in fib 2 X per month why no digoxin, see, all of Apollo unravels instantly, Chris do you have any idea who first discovered this aspect of the "hood wink"
However, even though the conventional
classification is idiopathic, it appears that in some cases so-called idiopathic AF may
in fact be caused by nutritional deficiencies. See my separate article about this.
Moreover, in other cases the AF is triggered by various factors (for example,
ingesting food containing MSG (monosodium glutamate), drinking alcohol, or
drinking caffeinated beverages), and can be avoided by avoiding these triggers.
